    Maybe he was made one without him knowing…

    He could have removed himself immediately upon noticing…

    Source for the fact he noticed?

    Ewww I’m defending Spez

      So either he was a jailbait mod or so bad at his job that he doesn’t understand optics. Or both.

      As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.

      I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.

      I’m pretty sure I remember spez making a special reddit award for the wierdo fuck that created jailbait.

      Considering that Spez is the one who controls the mod logs, he could show that he was made a mod instead of invited/accepted and was inactive. I don’t have access to the evidence. Spez does.

        Brushing up on the “proven ways Spez sux” file would surely provide more than enough back-pocket fodder to pull out when there’s a chance to drag him :)

        I’m a stickler for stuff like this, e.g. someone complains about mythical reasons corporations or governments are against us and I wonder… why risk opponents being able to prove conspiracy theories wrong and distract from legitimately awful/criminal behavior! There’s so much of it!

          He literally directly edited comments criticizing him to point to r/The_Donald mods(About 2014-2015-2016, this was news around that time).

        Everything from that time period on that related subreddit has been scorched Earth removed from the net. So I’m not sure even Spez has a record of it. Hell. The Anderson Cooper bit about it is even gone.

          I doubt law enforcement would allow records from r/jailbait to be scrubbed completely, especially mod logs and mod chats. That’s a source of evidence to build cases against predators, even years later.
